One of the first things my ex said when we went to couples counselling was that I am easy to love and don’t deserve this. We’d hold each other after sessions and say we’ll get through this with love no matter which way it goes.

Fast forward and she’s dating a guy who hit on her when we were together. Wanted to be her bit on the side. And now she’s posting things about having a white hot anger and she’s finally coming into herself after suppressing so much.

That switch in personality is difficult to understand. I know we’re over and her behaviour now is actually making it a little easier. We have two boys to raise though so I’m hoping the person that I knew comes back eventually. It’s like living with a stranger at the moment.
